As someone who used to accept them for Kino, I suggest that you first come up with intended uses - the more specific the better. Even proudly display them alongside the donate button so people appreciate the clear direction and perhaps even more motivated. Here are some ideas: - travel and hotel costs for a developer to attend and optionally present at an event (there are so many) - special equipment which we might want to provide support for within Kdenlive: e.g. Blackmagic Design - technical books related to video, editing, compositing, etc. - a charity > If not, we might mention somewhere on the web page that, at the > moment, we survive without donations :) I received a fair amount of donations for Kino, but not anywhere near enough to be interesting (i.e. provide a living). So, I shut it down because I did not really need the money, and I felt people should donate to more worthy causes. In hindsight, if I had established a specific goal such as above, I likely would have achieved that goal, which would have been interesting and beneficial. > Simon > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
